A brief History of HolzHacker Buben

Originally created in September 2005, HHB took off the ground running with two fine gentlemen, Poprocks and Meer, at the helm. Starting out as the Teguilla Sunrise Clan, they respectfully changed their name in order not to compete with the well established clan, The Skull Collectors. After much debate and discussion the name HHB was decided upon. Holz Hacker Buben loosely translates from German into 'Bavarian lumberjacks' or 'wood-cutter guys'. The name HHB was particularly prudent as most of the clan's membership played the michi map or variations of it.
HHB grew by leaps and bounds in early 2006 becoming one of the largest active clans. Having the age old philosophy of "character over skill," HHB was a clan of dignity and class. Members from all parts of the globe and of all ages made HHB a very dynamic clan. A well structured chain of command system, with very respectable people involved, allowed HHB to run smoothly. Gaining popularity in the AoC community, Holz Hacker Buben was known for its great members who always showed respect in victory or defeat.
Sadly, in December 2006, when a few of the key clan members were inactive, a rash decision was made regarding the recruitment process leaving many unhappy. With so much animosity in the air, HHB fall apart as quick as it had grown. That is, until today.
Today is a new era for HHB. Today we stand strong once again. And today we ask you to join us in helping make HHB a place where people want to be. It is our aim to carry the traditions of HHB into the future so that there will always be a place or group of friends that will offer you gaming, good conversation or simply a place to "Have Good Times!"

Our Community
There are many clans out there in the world of online game play. Some are great clans some are not. Some are only interested in what skill you may bring. There are not many who have the same beliefs that we do. Our Moto is Friendship over Skill. We ask only that you have good character to belong to us. We do not concern ourselves with race, colour, age or skill. We believe that if you are a decent person then you belong in HHB no matter where you are from.
At Holzhacker Buben we are not just a clan. We aim to be much more than the usual clan does. We like to believe we have a community with the clan. Yes we are all here mainly for the Great game that is Age of Empires but it is not essential to play this game to belong to our community. We have guest members and associate members who do not play online much at all but they still keep in touch and interact through our forums or on msm. You will find that once you belong to HHB then you will have friends from all over the globe and there is always somebody online at most times for a chat or a game.

We encourage the use of our forums and we have made an effort to make them user friendly and interesting. There are many places to post topics on what ever you like so long as it does not contravene our code of conduct with the forums. Unlike the old HHB we do not have members of rank and importance, we simply have different types of members. That is not to say one type is more important that another. We are all basically equal in our own right. we have guest members, associate members, and member + who are there to help run HHB. Any member can request to be a member + if they wish to help out and there are many jobs that a member + can do.
